[Enoch Blaze]

Thank God. We need forwards desperately

He plays instinctively, it's a great change up there.

 

[Portwon]

Doesn't have the cattle (has had an opportunity to turn the list over twice).

Doesn't have a big defender (see above).

Can't kick it for them (fair body of evidence now to say it happens pretty regularly see above).

 

[Enoch Blaze]

So if Dixon comes in (don't think he will) you know Lord goes out....

You.Know.It.

It's the Port way.

No way Lord is getting dropped.

THE GOOD

We got a good run with the umpires.

Lord - a big forward kicking a bag. Best game he's played.
Rozee - spark and class when free but wasn't that free.
Rioli - most of his touches were gold.
Drew - very good game.
Overall, the defending was pretty good but when the boys dropped their guts, it became a parade.
Lachie Jones - not bad.
Bergman - up there as well but problems still with kicking.
Aliir - I thought he was OK considering he was a bit injured.
Horne-Francis - tried but the Lions played him well.
Williams - OK

THE MEDIOCRE

Butters - his worst game for a while. The Lions played him well.
Marshall - horrible body language kicking those goal. Didn't want it.
Burton - mediocre or ugly, probably mediocre.
Houston - average but battled.
Powell-Pepper - he was played well. Tried but down.
Williams - yeah.

THE UGLY

Coaching and tactics - terrible. A loser attitude and very passive, especially behind the ball. No freaking run.
Forwards - kicking poorly in the first half.
Defence - overlooked but our running from defence was the worst for the year. I don't think we had a backmen anywhere near metres gained. The main reason we lost the game.
Playing injured players - Lycett, McKenzie not so good.
Midfield - they got beat but they kept trying.
We really need a ruck.
They were just well drilled.

Lycett - battled hard but goneski. Hayes would probably have been better.
McEntee - does absolutely nothing. The worst, just the worst. He wouldn't make the AFLW team.
Wines - just couldn't get it done. Nowhere near captain material.
Byrne-Jones - one nice goal but horrible especially one on one.
Duursma - terrible and slow and doesn't trust his body. Needs a week in the tropics.
Farrell - missing in action but not quite as bad as McEntee.
Finlayson - hot or cold, cold in Brisbane.
McKenzie - old and ragged.
Boak - he gets a pass for being 23

ELEPHANT MAN UGLY

Hinkley - a parasite.
Koch - a parasite lover and a puppet.
We lost the game by structure. They were just efficient and worked together as a whole.
Hinkleyball.

We are going to have a real problem against the GWS.

Good post PB, but I'm assuming `dropped their guts' must have a different meaning now, as back in the dim darks it was used as a reference to a fart that could clear a room!

 

[HINKLEY OUT]

Anyone who thought that we were going to win tonight need to take a good, long, hard, look at yourself.

I really hope they are great people besides their football choices, mate.

 

[ozph1870]

Yup. They'll win the flag.

Our only chance this year was finishing top 2 and somehow doing the reverse and just getting over a couple sides with the home crowd momentum.

Playing the Lions at the GABBA and Collingwood at the MCG was always going to end up like this.

If we do make it through to play Collingwood it is going to be an absolute thrashing.

This is why we get so frustrated during the year when the team doesn't put shithouse sides away, takes the foot of the pedal when in dominant positions, and puts in ordinary efforts against bottom teams.. % cost us a home final tonight, Lack of a killer instinct during the year cost us come September..

I was hopeful but fearful.

If rumours are correct he won't be there long

Kochie is gonna be a great example of this.

Dutches up PAFC with his IBS then ****s off to replace Goyder on the commission.

The damage is done (Hinkley's Extension)

 

[PAFC66]

Kane has always said we don’t have the team to win the premiership, key defenders, rucks and forwards he has been negative all year on. It will be a I told you so moment and followed up with “Kenny’s done a great job to get them to this point”

Meanwhile he says the Bulldogs have the best list in the competition

 

[jabba5114]

Agreed

Meh.

We were never good enough all year.

Even when we were having winning streaks we had a pretty poor defence.

Get Grundy, Zerk-Thatcher and Esava and go again. Then again. Then sack Hinkley.

Esava is not better than Jonas.

 

[jabba5114]

Wouldn't be the first time he's dropped someone a week after kicking 4 goals. Hate that I even have to type that

[port_adelaide_1870]

Esava is not better than Jonas.

Zerk also had 9 kicked on him.

 

[Enoch Blaze]

Hasn't kicked 4 goals in a final before.

 

[ClintEastwood]

Esava is not better than Jonas.

Drugs are bad, mkay?

 

[Willsy10]

Good. He's the only one that faults ken

Oh great he must be genuine in his concern for us then and not tugging himself off to the thought of us going out in straight sets.

Don’t give a shit what he thinks about Ken, he is a flipping tosser.

We are missing out on Grundy and Zerk-Thatcher & Ratogolia are both average. Ratogolia is a great size, but McKenzie is a better KPD than both of them.

Oh well atleast he'll say it publicly

Injury cruel to McKenzie, it's robbing him. He makes such great decisions in all the small things. And his precise kicking is a joy to watch.

 

[PJ Power]

Great to see Lord have a break out game. It might be the first time he’s kicked three or more in any game since joining us. His first two goals were extremely creative from ground level, half chance opportunities. Then two strong marks in the goal square. Competed on Andrews well for a lot of the game. A shame more experienced teammates couldn’t go with him.

Geez I hope you're right, if we can replace him with a genuine football person getting rid of kokhead is just as important as getting rid of kern.
